Designed to be \"close to useless,\" these are mathematical design objects. They come as an 8-link segment that can be physically manipulated, allowing users to remove links or flip axes to create new cubist forms. It serves as a physical manifestation of the brand's abstract, interactive philosophy\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kinetic sculpture is based on Paul Schatz’s 1929 discovery that a cube can be continuously inverted through itself in a fluid looping motion. The Vortex Linkage expresses this principle through eight interlocking stainless steel torsion-spring links, allowing the assembly to pass through a momentary coplanar state during inversion while enabling manipulation into stable desktop sculptural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from eight links of stainless steel, the object flexes and rotates in pleasing ways in addition to creating interesting desktop sculptural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA of Stainless Steel. Segments can be removed to create six-segment sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDLE","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":47740371763284,"sku":"OBJ-VORTEX-A","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4843\/files\/idle-vortex-linkage-2251624.jpg?v=1790911999","url":"https:\/\/likelihood.us\/products\/idle-obj-vortex-a","provider":"LIKELIHOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
